Yel low bird, Up high in banana tree

Yel low bird, You sit all alone like me

Did your lady friend, Leave the nest again

That is very sad, Make me feel so bad

You can fly away, In the sky away

You more lucky than me.

I also had a pretty gal, She not with me to day

They all the same, the pretty gal, Take tenderness

Then they fly a way,

Go to second verse below

Ending: Yel low bird, Yel low bird, Yel low bird
